Rate top gamesI really thought I would like this one more than I did but it fell pretty flat for me. I disliked most of the characters for one reason or another. Like other DP games, I think this is intentional to some extent. The story here was all over the place and some of the things characters do are off the wall insane. There are some good aspects and others that just make zero sense. The ending is also pretty bad.

🇧🇷 Review em Português:
Dentro da antologia, um dos melhores. Little Hope é, sem dúvidas, um dos destaques de The Dark Pictures Anthology. Com um enredo envolvente e um plot twist realmente impactante, o jogo consegue surpreender até os mais atentos (a menos, é claro, que você seja aquele “tiozão dos plot twists” que jura ter sacado tudo desde o começo). Apesar das limitações orçamentárias, o jogo entrega uma narrativa imersiva, bem construída e cheia de simbolismos. É uma experiência rápida, mas que fica na cabeça mesmo depois de terminar. A proposta é excelente, o clima é sombrio e misterioso na medida certa, e a conclusão é, no mínimo, memorável. Não decepciona. Muito pelo contrário, eleva o nível da antologia.
🇺🇸 Review in English:
One of the anthology’s strongest entries. Little Hope stands out as one of the best in The Dark Pictures Anthology. With a gripping storyline and a plot twist that truly lands, it manages to surprise - unless, of course, you're that one guy who "totally saw it coming" five minutes into the game. Even with a modest budget, the game delivers a well-crafted, immersive experience filled with eerie atmosphere and symbolic layers. It’s a short playthrough, but it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. The concept is strong, the tension is well-paced, and the ending is both bold and memorable. It doesn't disappoint in fact, it raises the bar for the entire anthology.

«Just one more turn»
I enjoyed the game for the most part; mostly trying to kill off characters I didn't like. However, the interludes were pointless and distracting. The ending was worse, completely disconnected from 99% of the story.

Recommendation: If you like horror and games that mostly play themselves then it's short enough to be worth your time.
